And to celebrate the first of this dandy month, I have cookies for you. I have to look out for the fat guy, I mean with all this talk about healthy lifestyles, exercising, counting calories – carbs – no carbs – carbs … what’s man gotta do to get a good cookie.

Well St. Nick, I’ve got your back buddy!!

I browned butta for you – – I added a dash of coconut and there’s a pretty little cherry on top. I get it, you’ll have a long night and you need all the sugar energy you can get.

Brown Butter Oatmeal Cherry Winks

1 Cup Butter

½ Cup Brown Sugar

¼ cup granulated sugar

1 tbsp. coconut extract

1 ½ cup Flour

¾ cup Rolled oats

1 cup shredded coconut

1 Tsp. Baking Soda

1 Tsp. Sea salt

1 Tsp. Cinnamon

24 Red Maraschino Cherries

Directions:

Preheat oven to 350 oc. Prepare a 24 cup mini muffin pan.

Over medium heat, melt butter until browned. Allow to continue simmering until all of the crackling stops (at this point, you’re just left with concentrated buttery goodness). Remove from heat and allow to cool as you prepare your other ingredients.
